Batch Delete Old Imported Content?

Channels DVR Server
#1

A few months ago I imported all my movies and TV Shows into channels but I’ve since then changed all of the folders and everything is organized much differently now. All of those files still live in channels in my library but don’t work any more. I want them all deleted so I can re-import them to create my virtual channels with the right file path and not have 1500 duplicates. Is there a way for me to delete a bunch of files at once? Or do I have to trash everything individually? I just want to start from scratch

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

Have you tried Prune Deleted under Local Content/Maintenance? I did the same thing a while back and after using the Prune option, it took several minutes to clean things up.

I’ll try this! I’m also trying to go into DVR and filter by Imports and Delete that way. It seems to be working but I’ll know for sure here shortly

Clicking the Trash can next to your Import Source should remove them from the Library. Didn't that work?

If you Trash them from DVR>Manage and empty Trash it will physically delete the files on your disk.

I did it this way because those files don’t exist In the place that channels thinks they are at. So my files are safe. I recently redid my file structure. For what ever reason they never deleted when I just removed the from The input source. I think I’m good now
